The candle was inspired by Caldwell’s Binary furniture collection (BRC Designs), in which chair and table surfaces are completely covered with motherboards, computer chips, lcd screens and hard drive disks held in place by sheet metal screws. The furniture maintains an interactive quality with hard drive disks that can be spun, telephone keys and other buttons that can be pressed, and adjustable antennae.

The Binary Collection interprets Caldwell’s futuristic take on electronic lifecycles in both aesthetic and distinctive recyclable materials. A self-proclaimed reinventor, Caldwell’s Binary chair was the centerpiece of Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP album campaign, shadowing the singer’s tour stops and acting as a “means of communication” between the pop star and her fans. The chair was conceived by Caldwell in April 2011 and was originally shown at the Industry Gallery in Washington, D.C. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the chair has traveled with Lady Gaga to Germany and joined her on set at "Good Morning America," and it figured prominently in her social media campaign.
